Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a buyer seeking a diesel hatchback with a consistent MOT record. The lack of recorded defects across five consecutive tests is a positive indicator for its recent history.
When viewing this specific green 1.2L diesel Corsa, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record. Since the vehicle is nearing 100,000 miles, check if major interval items, such as the cambelt and water pump, have been replaced according to manufacturer recommendations.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history is clean, 98,981 miles is a significant distance for a small diesel engine. Ask for evidence of recent maintenance regarding the diesel particulate filter (DPF), which can be a consideration for high-mileage diesel cars used for short urban trips.
The 1248cc diesel engine is generally designed for efficiency, making it suitable for longer motorway commutes. You should expect relatively low fuel consumption compared to petrol equivalents, though tax and insurance will depend on the specific trim level and driver profile.
Maintenance costs for a Corsa of this age are typically moderate, but as it crosses the 100,000-mile threshold, you should budget for wear-and-tear items like suspension components, brakes, and tyres. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, fall in the mid-range for this vehicle class.
Given that the MOT history shows no recorded defects from 2022 to 2026, your inspection should focus on mechanical components not always highlighted in a standard MOT. Check the condition of the clutch and flywheel, as these can show wear on high-mileage diesel models.
Examine the brake pads and discs, and look for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay. Additionally, since the last recorded mileage was 98,981, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and suspension bushings to ensure they remain in line with the clean MOT results seen previously.
This 2014 Vauxhall Corsa features a 1.2L diesel engine and has covered 98,981 miles as of its most recent MOT in February 2026. The vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record since 2022, with no recorded failures or defects across the last five annual inspections. While the mileage is approaching the six-figure mark, the recent history shows a steady progression of usage.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific model to provide a comparative benchmark.
